Amana Refrigerator Error Code POWER UP

The POWER UP notification means the refrigerator has detected a power interruption or restoration, such as a power outage, the unit being unplugged, or the power switch being cycled. All temperature indicator lights flash to alert you that the unit has restarted. The refrigerator also resets all settings back to factory defaults when this occurs. It is an informational alert, not an error indicating a broken component.

The flashing indicator lights associated with the POWER UP notification are designed to persist until you acknowledge them by pressing the Alarm Off or Display On pad. The refrigerator will continue to cool normally in the background, but the lights will keep flashing until you press that button.

In most cases, there is no repair cost at all, since POWER UP is a normal status notification that is cleared by pressing a button on the control panel. If the alert is appearing repeatedly due to an intermittent power connection or a faulty outlet, addressing those electrical issues may involve the cost of an electrician, typically ranging from $75 to $200 or more depending on the repair needed.

Press the Alarm Off or Display On pad on the control panel to acknowledge and clear the notification. The flashing temperature indicator lights will stop, and the refrigerator will return to normal operation. After clearing the alert, check and manually reconfigure any custom temperature settings that may have been reset to factory defaults.

The notification itself does not indicate a safety problem with the refrigerator's cooling function. However, if the power outage that triggered it was lengthy, you should check the temperature inside the refrigerator and evaluate food safety independently. Once power is restored and the alert is cleared, the unit will resume normal cooling to its factory default temperatures.
